I charge my car in the morning and then go to work and when I get home and wake up the next day it’s dead again.

Has the battery been tested? And if this is a new battery have it retested and have the charging system tested also. If the issue persists after all tests have been done, a parasitic draw test must be performed to pinpoint what is causing the draw. Here is a guide that may help: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-battery-dead-overnight

Yeah the battery and the charging system has been checked multiple times. Do you just take the car to a workshop and say you have to get it for a looked at for parasitic draw?

Yes, parasitic draw test! And sometimes there will be updates for certain modules in the vehicle that the dealer or a shop with good equipment can do that pertain to battery drain issues.
